Wednesday. -' Telephone 4522 "Saturday, June 21, 1 ?>*??) .. _AL<>RGAN COLUCGE SOLD Morgan college, heated in Baltimore for the past sixty year's, was sold last week fgr the small sum of two hundred thousand dollars. The plant was estimated at $1,.'tOO,000. The library alone cost $226,000, it is said. The schem??- on fuot. in t-k-is dealis to eatublish in Maryland a state college f"r Negroes because of tincontention of the Maryland Negroes that they should have professional school training for Ne groes seeking graduate work. But the farce in the deal is that a great school like Morgan has been confiscated f t- the small sum of $200,000 less than one-fifth of its value on the real estate market there. In many instances Negro property is put to very low figures in estimation when it suits'the 3 purpose ofl the politicians, and this is evidently true in the Marv ~ Iamf-case-as it affects the trade of Morgan college. The Afro-American, Baltimore's best known weekly paper is much uisiuroeu over tne transaction and has this to say editorially about the affair: "The trustees of Morgan college agreed to sell" its $1 ,.'100,000 plant to the State of Maryland last week for $200,000. "Ordinarily, it would be pool business fi> -rsrtl?something wurth a million dollars for -just a sixth - of its value, but we can't say that about the present transaction yet until we see how it works out. "The State of Maryland must agree to buy at the price Morgan fixes. "The State must openly, or under a gentleman's agroomerh^.arrange for the naming of a new trustee board to take over the newMorgan State college. "President Dwight Holmes and Judge Mt/rris Sopor, white, trustee head, have already spoken foi a majority" white State? college board. "Just as soon as the deal incompleted, the sum of $:!0.000 up for scholarships outside the Stati will be taken from an independent commission and given to Morgan college for its own purposes "Alt "in all, it d</<>ks as thpiigFT we are trading a "good little private college for a Statt? college, that, to begin with, wall be up to its ears in. pities. "Morgan bas a trustee board ?that- h-as-a?-nntjrnuTy of colored. members now, as well as a colored president. . "If they sell out to a majority white trustee board and eliminate the $.'{0,000 annual scholarship fund, nothing remains for* the voters to do except to campaign for a governor who will make changes. "It's too had that __ Morgan should lose, overnight, all that it has taken sixty years to gatrr. THERE IS A DIFFERENCE Professor S. I>.
